Get access to the lowest electricity prices by utilising off-peak tariffs.
Schedule when you’d like your car to start charging, what time charging needs to be completed by and the minimum percentage it should be charged to.
The public charging network is vast and serves thousands of drivers every day. But there’s nothing quite like the peace and quiet of charging at home.
Thanks to our partnership with Hypervolt, we’ve managed to slash the cost of a fully-installed smart home charger by up to 50%. Simply add the charger to your EV order and save around £500.
How? Well, thanks to salary sacrifice, you can pay for your charger from your gross salary (i.e. pre-tax) rather than your take home pay. As the cost of the charger is deducted before tax, you subsequently pay less Income Tax and reduce your National Insurance Contributions, making it the most cost-effective way to pay for the charger.
Get a smart charger installed and spread the cost across 36 months - we'll even cover the £108 Egg Plus subscription.

To calculate the charge time: Battery size (kWh) ÷ Charger power (kW) = Charging time (hours)Let’s use a 60kWh battery as an example:
At home: With a 7kW charger - such as the Hypervolt 3.0 - a charge from 0-100% takes 8.5 hours.
Public charging: With a 150kW rapid charger - such as the Tesla Supercharger - most new EVs can charge up to 80% in around half an hour.
To calculate the cost: Battery size x Tariff cost (pence per kWh) = Cost to charge (£s)Let’s use a 60kWh battery again as an example:
At home: Smart charging using an EV-friendly tariff is the cheapest way to charge. OVO Energy’s ‘Charge Anytime’ tariff is 10p/kWh, meaning a full charge costs only £6.
Public charging: Rapid charging at service stations is the most expensive way to charge. The average cost is 70p/kWh, meaning a charge to 80% would be £33.60.
It isn’t necessary to charge your car every night, although most drivers like to keep their battery topped up to 80%.
Yes! Using renewable energy produced at home is the most cost effective (aka. free), convenient and environmentally friendly way to recharge. Our friends at Hypervolt have streamlined this process: check out how they do it here.
All chargers are technically able to provide a charge to an EV - however you first need to check whether they have the correct connector type for your vehicle. See below.
Type 2 and Combined Charging System (CCS). Every electric vehicle on sale today is equipped with a Type 2 plug, with the vast majority of cars also coming with a CCS, too.
Standard installations typically only take between 2-3 hours.
